Outlook.
IsrHuIAL 70 THs ArPEAL.i
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan uaIy S.-The
Senatorial fight is waxing warm. As
between Bate, Marks and House,
there is no doubt that Bats has the
bulge and will receive more than
either of the others, and probably as
many as the two combined;
but he will have an up hill
fight to secure the nomination. In,
deed, 1t does not seem probable to-
night that he will be 30 honored.
Neither Marks nor House can get
there. This will be made manifest
within the next few days, The ques-
ton then occurs will either or both
throw their strength to Gov. Bate,
VI will they thwart his ambition
and sid in electing some one from
East Tennessee In hope of succeeding
two years hence. 1t looks as ii the
Senator to be chosen will be from
West Tennessee. Several OF "Bob"
Taylor's stsuncbest friends, who would
like to see him in the United States
Senate, doubt if even he can be nomi-
mated, opposed as he would be
by the three prominent candi.
dates already mentioned. To elect
bob" Taylor there would iii remain
the Senior Senator to oppose two
years hence, and neither OF the csndi-
dates named would dare cross lances
with him. These complicated condi-
tions would indicate the probable
nomination of such man ss James
D. Porter, or some well known Demo.

who is very popular. 1t is on the
cards for big surprise to occur,
aud mark the pred ction--it viii
happen. The election OF State
officers may clear the mist that
overhanps the Senatorial combat. 1t
is refreshing to hear 60 many of the
members-elect declare their independ.
ence and denounce any attempt that
may be made to deprive them Of free
dom OF personal action on all questions
that will arise. The "indspendent"
Democrat is numerousi in Nashville Just
now, end this is the best indicat on
that wise selection will bs made of
those who will fill all Of the important
positions. Merit will march to the
front, leaving political tricksters far
behind.

Mr.. Miller, of Hardemsp, rug sted
that the caucus adjourn until 2 o'clock,
as there was not enough time 10 make
the nominations and that some
enc present be instructed to
move adjournment in the House until
such time as would permit the eau
Gus to complete its work. Mr.. Buch.

into caucus until there were enough
members present to make its work
effectual. Other members began to

at this critical point CJl. GNlliday
moved an adjournment until 3 O'Clock
pm.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon forty
members met in the HOUSE Of Repre-
sentstivss, and after wrsngling for
a while agreed by a vote Of % to IL to
make another effort to hold caucus.
The seventeen are uualttrably opposed
to caucus with less than 80 per cent.

CHICAGO. ILL, January IA special
to the Times from New 0rleRnB says
the orange crop Of Louisiana is all har-
vested and marketed. 1t is, as pre-
dicted, less than one tenth of an aver
age crop, and oranges are retailing
now at 80 to 80 cents q dozen, against
10 to 80 cents this time last year, and
eCarce even at there figures. There
will be none for shipment North, as
usual. In fact, q great many Florida

IT Is matter for deeprcgret that Mrs.
Horton was not yesterday reelected
to the position Of County Supefintend-
snt of Public Schools. She had
roven her efficiency by bringing the
common schools up TO a condition
that challenged the commendation Of
every educator in this section, and the
difference between what they are and
what they wefs under DR.. Henderson,
who has bean elected to succeed her,
is so marked that none but the most
williul and blind could think of put
ting HIM again in 30 important posi-
ton. If the County Court is deter
mined to kill the public schools it has
begun in the right way. Mrs. Hor-
toms defeat is blow at the children

when q United States Senator VIII
Be hlecGed.

In answer to many inquiries as to
when the United States Senator and
the State officers will be chosen, the
Americdn answers that, as to the
former, the constitution OF the United
States states that the Senator shall be
voted for by each House on the-sec
ond Tuesday after the organization Of
both Houses; As organic atoms were
not effected today, the first vote for
United Senator will not be taken be-
fore the 18th of the present month.
After organic alton, the two Houses
will appoint a joint committee to ex-
anime the books OF the Comptrol er
and Treasurer Of the State and make q
report. Il usually takes this commit
tee week to accomplish its mission,
aud hence the election of these OF.
ficers will not take place before that
time. 1t IN very probable, also, that
they will be still further deferred in
consequence of the interest Of mem.
bers in the election Of United States
Senator.

THERE is evidently q very strong
opposition among the Democratic
members Of the Legislature to holding
caucus, and we hope they will con-
dnue to Oppose 1t. There is no good
reason for holding caucus. The
Democrats are in such majority in
both houses that they can easily carry
the party's policies into law. On
joint ballot they are strong enough to
elect any candidate they may cCmbine
upon, and we do not believe there
is q Democrat in either house 80 dis
honorable as to think Of selling out to
the Republicans or making bargain
with them Tor their votes for any pur-
yose. Besides this, the State Demo-
cratic Convention distinctly opposed
caucus, and emphasized its objections
by nominating for Governor the man
who refused to go into the caucus Of
East Tennessee Democrats. Caucus
under these circumstances means
ring rule, and ring rule stinks
in the nostrils Of every
free man. Caucus In this case means
, paddock on the mouths OF members
and tying Of their hands; 1t means
slavery to the bosses and puts the
mark OF ownership on those who
yield to II. The Democrats In the
Legislature have everything to loss
and nothing to gain by caucus. The
people demand free and fair con-
Test, open and above board, for the
Senatorship and for the State off
cee; no CoHcsslments, no secret
conclaves, no bark-Htair conspira'
cies nor ring combinations. The
Democratic State Convention, the
highest court of the party, decided
against eaucuses, and they should
not be held.

The discussion over Logan's sue
cessor has taken curious direction.
The latest name mentioned as suitable
to ill the vacancy is that of Mrs.
Logan. It is oonte aided that there is
no constitutional inhibition to the
election Of woman citzsn or inbab-
itsnt to either Senate or House, since
sex is not mentioned in any part OF
the Constitution relating to quslifica-
tions of Senators or Representatives.

this resolution was intended to test

they should have q caucus, some
might have come with that idea. He
had come with the fixed intention to
